Abstract

In this chapter, we’ll look at SSH (Secure Shell). SSH is one of the most commonly used tools in system administration. It allows you to connect to a remote server or device through an encrypted connection. It’s also the basis for other programs which are built on top of SSH, for example, X2Go which is a Linux equivalent to RDP (remote desktop protocol) clients like VNC.
